Exploring Shache | Yarkand Khanate Royal Tomb

| Yarkand Khanate Royal Tomb. This is Shache, 🕌
a small city in southern Xinjiang filled with exotic charm.
·
Intricate patterns reflecting the unique Western Region style can be seen everywhere,
with the philosophy of "Happiness and Wisdom" carved into the courtyard walls.

Looking up here,
white doves fly freely, 🕊️
choosing to rest only at the top of the eaves,
as afternoon light casts through the corridors,
scattering dappled shadows across the ground.
·
Outside, horses have been waiting with lowered heads for a long time,
and the 500-year history of the Yarkand Khanate
remains preserved in every brick and tile. 🧱
